      I think this would make the 5 covers right? so does that mean no more FFXIV covers in the future?

    In 2 days it will be the 2 year mark of my best friend passing. He never got to finish Endwalker but this song always reminds me of him and our journeys across Eorzea together and encourages me to carry on and forge ahead. I will miss him in Dawntrail and in life, thank you Skar for delivering another amazing masterpiece.

    Im one month away from the one year anniversary of my husband and fellow warrior of light (and darkness) passing away. I played this song for him at his memorial, and everytime I hear it I think of him. I wish this version had existed so he could have heard it before he died. I introduced him to FFXIV in 2017 when we started dating and we played together for our entire relationship, but now I am starting a new journey in Dawntrail without him and I dont really know how to tbh. Thank you for this amazing cover, he would have loved it....

    • @Urbanmantraart
      @Urbanmantraart 6 місяців тому +1

      Beautiful story. May he rest easy knowing that you had that beautiful journey together. I think if my husband was to pass I'd play this song too. It's so powerful and meaningful.
      I wish you all the best for your future endeavors. May you keep playing on in his honor. ❤

    Fantastic cover my man. This is by far my favorite song from Endwalker. The walk with the twins while this was playing in the background just hit hard.
    Thank you.

    • @Nempo13
      @Nempo13 11 місяців тому +8

      This song is basically what is in G'raha's heart come about from everything he has witnessed, everything he has seen you accomplish in BOTH TIMELINES. Don't forget, he woke up in a timeline in which we died. He read everything we did, how hard we fought, the fact we pushed through losing our friends one after the other, and at the end we died preventing the 8th calamity from totally destroying everything.
      Something that had me replay Shadowbringers 3 times to catch, The 'Exarch' pays attention to Alisaie specifically when she is interacting with you. His head follows her in a way it doesn't for the others. She died protecting the WoL from a fatal blow. She has a crush on the WoL that Krile and Y'shtola both tease her over (so does Ameliance later on if you do her custom deliveries, she blatantly wonders when you will marry her daughter and join the family if you are male...a comment she apparently does not make if you are female). The way it is worded was "The Valorous one dies in their love's arms on the battlefield." Her painting is known as 'the scion of valor' if you didn't do the content to unlock the Scion's paintings.

    My journey through Final Fantasy Online started in 2005 (FFXI), I was only 21 years old. 19 years later, I am still continuing this journey, but through FFXIV. But this time, I am not alone, my oldest Son is now walking this path with me. Amazing to look back and know that a journey that was once my own, will now be experienced alongside my son. He was just a baby when I started FFXI and now he is a man forging his own path through FFXIV. I will be right by his side.

    Three covers now, each time I click them, I feel my eyes water up on the very first chords, but this one.... it somehow hits different. It has a rising melody to it that inspires determination, not a slow tune into desolation, but a light at the end of the tunnel. The tears are for a different reason this time - it is literally, like she said, a song of hope, in metal format. I love it, I can't say anything else... I love it....

    This song man...
    I played through the game twice due to some mistakes I made throughout my first playthrough but THIS SONG stuck with me the most due to the significance it had in the last part of the storyline for endwalker. The song that signifies the end of one story but the beginning of another. Going up that staircase to the final arena...
    You guys made a perfect cover. So well done.
    Thank you.

    This song, this game did things to me that made me fall in love with gaming again. The fact that FF14 is an RPG-MMO is incredible - its telling a story that you can experience with friends but because its story focused, you can share the highs and lows with everyone who experiences it for the first time and this song playing when it does in Endwalker is perfect, with all that's been lost, what you could lose should you fail but all that can be saved should you sucssed. Excellent work as always Skar \m/ Forge Ahead
